The final days of “normal” life—this week, one year ago—feel like a hundred million years ago, and yet I remember every detail of that week as though it was yesterday. The last in-person reporting trip I took was to attend a panel on criminal justice reform at CitySpace; the last time I went inside a bar for a beer was Thursday, March 12, 2020, at Three Notch’d. I sat there with my friend, talking about the news and the dizzying stream of event cancellations that had already begun. We agreed that we had a weird month ahead. Ha! The year since has wavered between unspeakably horrific and unspeakably boring. Often it’s been both at once. So, like many, I have searched for escape, listening to dreamy music and watching silly TV and reading fantastical books.

I have sucked down a dozen engaging but formulaic murder mysteries from Agatha Christie and her imitators. I have immersed myself in the far-off spycraft of John le Carré’s dour Cold War British agents. I got really into the Captain Jack Aubrey series, in which the epic nautical battles of the 18th century are rendered in such glowing detail that you can almost hear the waves crashing against the hulls of the schooners as you turn the page. (A middle-aged reading list if ever there was one—the pandemic has aged us all.)

The end of the pandemic is now in sight, however. The country will have enough vaccines for all adults by the end of May, says President Biden. Just hang in there for a little longer—let the Virginia Festival of the Book (page 12) take your mind off things. We’ve been at sea for months, but now, up in the crow’s nest of one of those imposing Napoleonic sailing vessels, we can see the black hump of land on the horizon.—Ben Hitchcock

NEWS IN BRIEF Hopeless Hamilton Charlottesville and Albemarle’s 57th House of Delegates district is, at a low estimate, 85 percent Democrats. But don’t tell that to Philip Andrew Hamilton, Fairfax native and AT&T employee who has announced that he’s running for the district as a Republican.

Hamilton is anti-mask and pro-Confederate statue; he invited Richmond pro-Trump agitator Mike Dickinson to speak at his campaign kickoff on Sunday. After Hamilton’s announcement, sitting Delegate Sally Hudson tweeted “The contrast between us could not be more stark.”

March 12, 2020  Governor Northam declares a state of emergency in Virginia.  The City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County issue declarations of local emergency soon after Northam’s declaration, allowing the localities to access emergency reserve resources to mitigate the spread of the virus.  The Charlottesville Ten Miler is canceled, for the first time since it began in the 1970s.  The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is canceled.

t’s been a year since the COVID-19 pandemic upended our lives. And how far we’ve come—this time last year, we thought “flattening the curve” would take two weeks, and the medical advice of the moment was “don’t touch your face.”

A year later, toilet paper is no longer the hottest commodity on the market, but students continue to learn online, working from home is the new normal for many, and attending a large, in-person event is still incomprehensible. Since Governor Ralph Northam’s state of emergency declaration last year, half a million Virginians have contracted the disease and more than 9,500 have died.

In the timeline on the right, we look back at the earliest days of the coronavirus pandemic, and how it unfolded in Charlottesville and around the country.—Emily Hamilton

March 14, 2020  The first COVID-19-related death in Virginia is recorded. The state registers a total of 45 virus cases.

March 15, 2020  Northam bans gatherings of more than 100 people in Virginia.

March 16, 2020  The first UVA employee tests positive for COVID-19, also marking the first case of the virus in the wider Charlottesville area.

March 17, 2020  Northam gives local law enforcement the power to enforce a new limit of 10 people in restaurants, fitness centers, and theaters.  UVA cancels Final Exercises for the Class of 2020.

March 23, 2020  Northam orders Virginia schools to close for the rest of the year, along with certain non-essential businesses.  Trump downplays the severity of the virus as states begin to dole out their own stay-at-home orders, stating that “Our country wasn’t built to be shut down.”

A proposed development that would have brought 370 new apartments to Albemarle County—with 75 percent designated as affordable housing—was deferred by the county planning commission last week. A well-organized group of residents from the nearby affluent Forest Lakes community spoke against the project. They’re in favor of affordable housing, they say—just don’t build it anywhere near them.

Students must have their temperatures checked, wear masks, and practice social distancing, among other safety measures.

Parents and local nonprofits have stepped up to help supervise students or provide transportation, but remain concerned about safety. In the coming weeks, the division is expected to hire more drivers and add more routes.

or more than 25 years, redevelopment and public housing in the City of Charlottesville have been conversations and promises to residents,” said Audrey Oliver, standing on a dirt lot near Oakwood Cemetery downtown. “The promises became broken, and residents became discouraged, because the promises were never delivered.”

That string of broken promises will soon be interrupted. Oliver, a public housing resident, was one of the planners who helped design what will become the South First Street public housing complex. On Sunday, Oliver and others gathered at the site of the development to break ground on the 175-plus-unit project.

“I want us all to remember that what we are doing today will last longer than any of us will be alive,” said Shelby Marie Edwards, the executive director of Charlottesville’s Public Housing Association of Residents, at the ceremony. “The only thing we know for sure is that we’re going to die, so what are we going to do with our lives while we have it? Are we going to build

systems? Are we going to break down systems? Are we going to do both?”

For Edwards, the moment held particular weight. Her mother, Holly Edwards, was Charlottesville’s vice mayor and a PHAR program coordinator who pushed for reinvestment in public housing throughout her career. Sunday would have been Holly Edwards’ 62nd birthday.

Mayor Nikuyah Walker, Delegate Sally Hudson, and PHAR board of directors chair Joy Johnson were among the ceremony attendees, joined by several South First Street residents who played an instrumental role in designing the redevelopment.

During this first phase, three new apartment buildings will be constructed on the vacant land at the intersection of South First Street at Hartmans Mill Road. They will contain 63 one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, featuring dishwashers, laundry machines, high-speed internet, and other requested amenities. Solar panels will be installed on top of each building.

The first phase will cost an estimated $13 million, and is expected to be completed by spring 2022. In phase two, set to begin next year, 58 existing public housing units will be demolished and replaced with 113

“Today we understand that not just some people, but all people deserve to have homes that they can feel and see the love in.” MAYOR NIKUYAH WALKER

Bill blues Dominion pockets over-earnings, leaving customers in the lurch

By Caroline Challe

Dominion opponents have concerns about those clean energy projects, however. One of Dominion Energy’s newest projects involves building wind turbines off the coast of Virginia Beach. The company says the project requires large over-earnings in order to produce this expensive form of clean energy.

“Dominion receives a 10 percent annual rate of return on anything that they’re building. So instead of cost-efficient renewable energy like rooftop solar that is distributed all over Virginia, they’re going to choose to build a much more expensive renewable energy project so that they can get that rate of return as high as possible,” says Craighill.

“And that’s how a monopoly works.”

As the pandemic rages on and millions of citizens struggle, a bill was proposed that would have required the State Corporation Commission to return 100 percent of the amount of a utility’s earnings back to customers’ bills. On February 1, that bill was killed by the Virginia Senate

or Carolyn Johnson, a Charlottesville homeowner and care worker, the financial strain of the pandemic has been exacerbated by her high energy bill—almost $300 last month.

“Water bill and electric–them the highest thing I got. It’s really hard. I am struggling trying to get it done,” Johnson says. Though her household’s energy habits are typical, Johnson says, “by the time we pay up everything, we end up with maybe $200 left.”

Johnson is one of the three-quarters of Virginians who have an unaffordable energy bill according to federal standards, says Cassady Craighill of the climate advocacy organization Clean Virginia.

“We have a real crisis in Virginia where our energy bills are too high. They’re the sixth highest in the country,” Craighill says.

The prices are all the more galling given that Dominion, Virginia’s energy monopoly, has an enormous cash stockpile. Dominion has near-total control over swathes of the Virginia energy market. In exchange for that power, its profits are traditionally limited to a rate agreed upon with the state—in recent years, 10 percent. Profits above that threshold are supposed to be refunded to customers.

In the last three years, however, Dominion pocketed $500 million more than that rate of return, because a 2018 law allows it to keep excess profits as long as it invests the profits in clean energy projects.

Delegate Sally Hudson believes that overearnings leave Virginia residents economically vulnerable.

“I’ve met lots of constituents struggling to make ends meet, and between sky-high rent and utilities, just affording safe shelter is a major struggle,” say Hudson, who represents Charlottesville and part of Albemarle County. “The burden of electric bills also hits hardest for the families that already struggle most, because they typically live in units without the more modern energy efficiency measures like improved windows, insulation, and thermostats.”

Despite the astronomical over-earnings, Dominion claims that its rates are low, and consumer error is the reason many are facing astronomically high prices.

“Hopefully, people you know, set their thermostat at the right temperature so that they’re not driving those bills up,” said Rayhan Daudani, Dominion’s manager of media relations.

Daudani says the company’s re-investment of the over-earnings winds up benefiting customers. “Instead of charging customers the costs of the projects, we would take the extra revenue and offset those costs, so that they get the benefit of the project without seeing any rate increase.”

Commerce and Labor committee. In an 11-3 vote, the bill was “passed by indefinitely,” effectively terminating its chances.

Eight Democrats and three Republicans decided to tank the bill, while three other Democrats voted in favor of it.

When the bill failed, many advocacy groups like Clean Virginia cited Dominion’s hefty donations to state officials as the reason why. Dominion has long been the largest contributor of campaign funds to both political parties in the state, although recently some Democrats have sworn off its contributions.

“When you have a company like Dominion giving those same legislatures hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, that’s a huge conflict of interest since clearly, those legislators are going to have a hard time convincing their voters and constituents that they’re acting in the best interest of them when they’re routinely passing legislation that favors Dominion,” says Craighill.

Hudson, who works with many legislators who have accepted Dominion’s donations, believes the company uses its capital to maintain influence over the General Assembly.

“The state guarantees that Dominion will recover its costs for those projects anyway.

The company doesn’t need to over-earn to make clean energy investments,” Hudson says. “Dominion writes its own rules, and some legislators just sign off. They don’t want you to understand why you’re not getting a fair deal. Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer of those legislators every year.”

multi-family units, including townhouses and apartments with one to five bedrooms.

The brand-new site will feature a community center, basketball court, play areas, and office space. It will be backed by lowincome tax credits, city and state funds, and philanthropy.

After destroying Black neighborhoods like Vinegar Hill during urban renewal, Charlottesville built its first public housing sites for displaced residents in the 1960s.

“There was no intention behind the building of these spaces that honored people and their families,” said Walker during the ceremony. “Oftentimes we want to blame the individuals for not being able to persevere out of an environment that was built and intended to destroy them. If you walk into some of these units, you see cinder block walls and floors.”

“Today we understand that not just some people, but all people deserve to have homes that they can feel and see the love in,” she added. “That’s what we’ve been attempting to do with this redevelopment.”

According to Edwards, attempts to revitalize public housing go as far back as 2009, but have consistently failed to get off the ground.

In 2016, PHAR finally got the ball rolling when it released a vision statement, providing insight on residents’ priorities and desire to spearhead the redevelopment process.

From 2019 to 2020, a dozen South First Street residents met with architects on a weekly basis. After receiving training on land use and site planning, they helped to design all aspects of the second redevelopment phase.

“Not only did [the residents] present at City Council [and] the Planning Commission, but they presented at the governor’s conference and did an awesome job,” said Johnson. “To say that public housing or lowincome residents don’t know what kind of community they want to build—they proved them wrong.”

Hudson emphasized the need for similar resident-led housing projects not just in Charlottesville, but nationwide.

“Across the country we are seeing more communities prioritize their public housing…instead of putting community leaders in the driver seat,” she said. “This is one of those places where Charlottesville is really being a leader nationally.”

Once the new apartments are constructed, current South First Street residents will have the option to move in, transfer to another public housing site, or receive a housing voucher before redevelopment continues in summer 2022.

The final phase of redevelopment is still in the works, but it will involve the land across the street from the original units.

All three phases are expected to cost a combined total of $38 million, and be completed by the end of 2024.

In the meantime, resident planner workshops and meetings will continue throughout this year and next year, allowing even more residents to have a say in the future of their community.

“There’s still lots of work that needs to be done to get all of our families new homes,” said Oliver. “Let’s work together and make it happen.”

Magna cum late UVA graduation delayed, millions in tourism revenue lost

hosts here don’t fully depend on graduation. The season for Charlottesville is spring, summer, and fall weekends.”

Caterers and restaurants have been working hard to keep their doors open in a difficult year. Lisa McEwan, owner of HotCakes at Barracks Road, is now in the kitchen six days a week and enjoying a lift in store sales from returning students and warmer weather. “I’m not sure yet how we will market for this year’s graduation period,” she says. “Catering is important to profitability.” Parents, who are not invited to Grounds, pick up most of that tab.

Manager Julia Wegman at Farm Bell Kitchen and Dinsmore Boutique Inn is testing materials for the best ways to package to-go brunch foods. She wonders when people will feel comfortable walking into crowded rooms once more, and how businesses will adapt. Optimistic, she says some visitors may still wish to come and organize activities of their own near Grounds.

It won’t be the same, however. Davis at Marriott says she feels worst for the Class of 2020’s two-year wait. “Once the students leave, it’s hard to say ‘come back,’” she says.

This year’s UVA graduation will be held virtually, and will look nothing like 2018’s, pictured above.

“This lost revenue will make recovery that much more difficult.”

March 10 – 16, 2021 c-ville.com

ashed hopes have become commonplace in this year of the pandemic, but UVA President Jim Ryan’s announcement on March 3 still stung: No friends, family, or guests will be allowed at the university’s 2021 graduation.

Last year’s festivities were canceled too, and this year the school had hoped to hold two ceremonies on consecutive weekends for the classes of 2020 and 2021.

The university is weighing options for honoring its students—a virtual ceremony will be held this spring, and a visitorfriendly graduation could be in the works for an as-yet unspecified date. The UVA news is especially bitter for the class of 2020, which has now seen commencement ceremonies postponed twice.

It’s also tough on area businesses, which have had a difficult year.

Courtney Cacatian, executive director of the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention & Visitors Bureau, estimates conservatively that the local economic impact this May for two canceled graduations “is at least $5 million.”

A typical graduation weekend accounts for about $2 million in hotel room revenues, with 40,000 guests staying for at least two nights, filling all of the city’s 3,768 rooms hotel rooms. The $5 million figure comprises premium lodging rates plus lost revenues at restaurants, shops, wineries, and other tourist sites. “This lost revenue will make recovery that much more difficult,” Cacatian says.

Owners and managers in the hospitality business almost all said they were not expecting a robust graduation month this year. Several used the word “creative” when

asked how they have been getting through the past 12 months.

Michelle Davis, general manager of the Courtyard by Marriott near the medical center says she “believed it was probably not going to materialize this year because of the restrictions.” On March 4, the hotel began calling people who had booked rooms, and had also started to receive cancellations.

While the past year has also been hard without large football and basketball crowds, she says, “I also believe there is an end in sight.”

Across West Main, The Draftsman front desk agent Sharron Smith says the hotel hasn’t made specific plans about graduation weekend. Over the past year, it has only experienced full occupancy during February’s dreadful ice storms.

Airbnbs are emerging from hibernation.

“Graduation is about three times the usual charge,” says superhost Gail McDermott, who was just getting ready to open hers again when she heard about Ryan’s decision. “It would have been nice, but Airbnb

It's been the year of the pandemic, yes—but it's also been the year of the book. Since the world shut down 12 months ago, we've turned to books to escape our stressful surroundings and also to explain the cataclysmic shifts outside and inside our homes. Last year's Virginia Festival of the Book was canceled as COVID-19 first took hold in the U.S., so we're doubly excited to dig into this year's programming, which will be held virtually over the next month.

America’s poisoned cities verything is falling apart—and I don’t mean that metaphorically. In Texas, a winter storm recently caused the power grid to fail, leaving millions without heat and icicles dropping from ceiling fans. In Jackson, Mississippi, 96 broken water mains in a 100-year-old system of municipal pipes have dirtied the water for two weeks and counting, and caused schools to shut down. Locally, with a worsening housing crisis, Charlottesville has just begun to redevelop its public housing after decades of deterioration.

Oh, and there’s still a global pandemic going on.

What’s going on here? Why is this all happening at once?

Some answers can be found in Anna Clark’s The Poisoned City: Flint’s Water and the American Urban Tragedy, which traces the story of one of the most famous infrastructure crises of the last decade: the Flint, Michigan, water disaster, when statelevel mismanagement let corrosive river water run through lead pipes, poisoning residents from their own taps.

Though the crisis in Flint “escalated in a uniquely dramatic way,” says Clark, readers of the book—especially here in Charlottesville—will doubtless see a lot of their own towns in the history of the Rust Belt city.

Clark, a Detroit-based journalist, says she was hesitant to write a book that was “ripped from the headlines,” so The

“We literally built our communities on a separate but unequal basis.

And we did it on purpose,” she says. “Lending, development, insurance, real estate, all of that.”

And so Flint, like Texas or Jackson or Charlottesville, wound up with huge amounts of “infrastructure that was destined to Anna Clark suffer from neglect,” Clark writes, especially in poor communities, rural communities, and communities of color. And “neglect, it turns out, is not a passive force in American cities, but an aggressive one.”

Thus we arrive at these all-too-predictable American crises. Turning the tide, Clark argues in the book, will require proactive measures. Neglect is an aggressive force, and so attempts at redress must be aggressive, too.

“It’s no longer legal to put toxic lead pipes in a drinking water system,” she says. “But there’s been no meaningful effort to remove the ones that are already there.

It’s continuing to poison people.”

The pipes won’t dig themselves up. If Flint sounds familiar to you, I suggest you grab a shovel.—Ben Hitchcock

Poisoned City, first published in 2018, reaches back into the past to lay the groundwork for our modern decay. It traces Flint’s rise as an auto boom town while also showing how segregated the city became. Decades of racist redlining, explicitly segregated real estate deeds, and other associated policies meant that over time, money fled to the suburbs, and Flint became “a widening circle of wealth with a deteriorating center,” Clark writes.

With the one-year anniversary of hunkering down in our houses approaching, it’s easy to forget about the beauty of the natural world that we still have access to. Ross Gay and Aimee Nezhukumatathil are here to remind us.

Poets Gay and Nezhukumatathi will discuss their essay collections—The Book of Delights and World of Wonders, respectively—during a book festival event called O Wondrous World!

Nezhukumatathil, whose essays are complemented with gorgeous color illustrations, draws many parallels between the chosen flora and fauna and her own life, whether comparing the defense mechanism of the touch-me-not to her own rejection of sexual predators or comparing her family to a pod of narwhals. But she is also content to simply admire nature’s creations: “The bibliography of the firefly is a tender and electric dress.”

Gay’s collection of 102 essays ranges from eating a tomato on a plane to his impressive list of nicknames for himself—but each piece deals in delight. And much of this delight focuses on nature, thanks to Gay’s affinity for gardening, a habit he shares with Nezhukumatathil. Gay has this to say about the relationships between their works: “I think I’ve learned from Aimee so much about staying focused (as much as I do) on what I’m trying to celebrate and study, not ignoring sorrow, never that, but that the training and the practice is to study what you love, if you can, which we can help each other with, and which is one of the ways we care for the world.”—Dan Goff

Crime writer S.A. Cosby will appear twice to discuss his work: Sunday, March 14 on the panel Rural Noir and Saturday, March 20 with Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Walter Mosley.

March 10 – 16, 2021 c-ville.com

S.A. Cosby set out to be the next Stephen King. But he soon turned to a life of crime writing, and his latest noir caper, Blacktop Wasteland, may have pulled him in too deep to let him out.

“I love writing about crime because it’s something everyone can understand,” Cosby says. “The platform makes it palatable. But I’m trying to talk about identity, tragic and toxic masculinity, the unfortunate inheritance of violence...the way race and class is intertwined in small-town America and how that affects your choices.”

In Blacktop Wasteland, we meet Beauregard, a getaway driver trying to go straight. He’s a husband, a father, a legitimate businessman. But his circumstances have made him a criminal, and he needs just one more heist to pay his debts and clean up his act.

The conceit may sound familiar—“tropes and clichés are foundational narrative devices,” Cosby says—but in the deft hands of the author it takes us new places. While crime noir is often set in big cities, Cosby brings the genre to his own frame of reference, the rural South.

Big cities offer anonymity, Cosby says. In small towns, characters bump each other over and over. The narrative pressure builds. The climax explodes.

“Small towns have just as much intensity and just as much drama,” Cosby says.

“People in small towns get taken for granted, but there is an intensity that is living in a small town, an uncomfortable intimacy.”

Cosby, who’s written one other crime novel and a handful of short stories, S.A. Cosby will present on two panels during the virtual book fest. On March 14, he’ll delve more deeply into his thoughts on rural settings for crime fiction. And on March 20, he’ll sit down for a chat with one of his heroes, Walter Mosley.

“I was in the audience for a lecture he gave about eight years ago,” Cosby says. “His two pieces [of advice] were, when you write about a crime, your characters need to be doing a lot of other things besides the crime. And, you need to write every day. I took the advice. Now, me and him are doing a panel. Man, it’s incredible.”—Shea Gibbs

Sadeqa Johnson will discuss Yellow Wife with moderator Beverly Colwell Adams on March 24 at 7pm.

Crime time

riter Sadeqa Johnson was walking the Richmond Slave Trail when she came across a shocking piece of local history.

She’d heard of Robert Lumpkin, a notorious figure who ran a slave jail known as the Devil’s Half Acre, where thousands of Black people were brutally tortured and mercilessly auctioned off. But Johnson hadn’t known that Lumpkin had purchased a biracial teenager named Mary and forced her to become his unofficial wife.

The discovery inspired Johnson’s latest novel, Yellow Wife, which tells the tale of 17-year-old Pheby Delores Brown. Born to an enslaved mother and a white plantation owner in Charles City, Virginia, Pheby is afforded certain privileges due to her status and light complexion—she learns how to read, write, and play the piano. Her master promises to free her when she turns 18, but her dreams are crushed when he is injured in a carriage accident, and his spiteful wife sells Pheby into prostitution at Devil’s Half Acre.

Before Pheby is auctioned off, jail owner Rubin Lapier steps in and takes her as his own slave. To protect herself and her unSadeqa Johnson born child, Pheby has no choice but to become Lapier’s “yellow wife.” Readers are pulled into Brown’s day-to-day struggles, as she is forced to run her sadistic enslaver’s household and bear his four children while surrounded by violence and death.

When her first love, Essex, is captured and brought to the jail, she searches for a way to get him and their son, Monroe, to freedom.

Yellow Wife vividly details the horrors of slavery, from family separation to sexual assault, empha-

sizing that Pheby’s relationship with Rubin is not one of love—but of survival.

“I wanted the readers to feel up close and personal.

I wanted them to experience the world as Pheby was experiencing it,” says Johnson. “I had to go beyond reading textbooks…It was important for me to read slave narratives written by enslaved people, so I could get the full scope of what it was like for them in their head and bodies—the smelling, the tasting, the touching, the feeling.”

Remarkably, Pheby does not lose her tenet for kindness and compassion, and finds great joy in motherhood, determined to do whatever it takes to protect her children.

Johnson ultimately gives readers a new perspective on the impossible choices enslaved women were forced to make on a daily basis, and Pheby’s acts of courage and resistance are a genuine source of inspiration that parallel the systemic racism and anti-Black violence that continues today.—Brielle Entzminger

Tiffany Jana doesn’t like the term microaggression. “The very nature of the word puts people on the defensive,” says the diversity and inclusiveness expert. “It definitely is not a place from which people grow very readily.”

Jana and co-author Michael Baran both took umbrage with the term and set out on a mission to rebrand it in their 2020 book, Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How to Understand, Identify, and Stop Microaggressions.

Subtle acts of exclusion is a much more value neutral descriptor of the phenomenon, says Jana, who assures that everyone does it, just as everyone has unconscious bias, the subject of an earlier book by the author.

“Every day, every single solitary day I slip up and commit an SAE in what I call a piece of diversity doo-doo—and I’m considered an expert in the subject matter,” says Jana.

Their most frequent offense when talking to a group?

The use of “hey guys,” says Jana. “There are gender nonconforming people, nonbinary people, women in this group.

I apologize to the people I might have offended.

By modeling the behavior and process, I’m engaging with people in a more intentional way.”

If you think you may have committed a subtle act of exclusion, Jana advises heeding that funny feeling—if you get one—and to “check in with the person you think you offended” or check in with an observer. “When you call each other in, it’s a sacred gift,” Jana says.

Subtle Acts of Exclusion provides strategies for handling the slights, whether one is the initiator, subject, or observer. And Jana firmly believes in the “essential goodness of all people” Tiffany Jana and that most are well-intentioned.

Jana’s motto: “Kindness. It’s great for yourself and it’s great for others.”

The author also believes a new, more inclusive world order is possible, “because the reality of exclusion and exclusiveness was created with great intention. It was no accident whatsoever in any aspect of society and economically.”

Jana says, “It will take an equal amount of intention by inclusive-minded, good-hearted people who recognize the world is not equitable right now and we have an opportunity to course correct.”

The anti-racist uprisings during the summer of 2020 led to this point, says Jana. “We are now entering a beautiful, transparent, transformative, and empathetic phase of our development as a society, and that gives me great hope.”

“This moment comes to you courtesy of unchecked institutional racism that came to a crescendo and is allowing us to have, for the first time in my lifetime, these honest conversations.”—Lisa Provence Tiffany Jana will discuss Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How to Understand, Identify, and Stop Microaggressions with Kaki Dimock on March 15 at noon.

sions, politics and theology—all set in a country violently reshaping its own socioeconomic and cultural framework.

In When Sunday Comes, Harold also intends to pinpoint the specific stylistic changes serving as signposts along gospel’s journey from the sanctuary to the spotlight.

“Gospel music is not always discussed in terms of classic albums or dominant sonic shifts,” she says. “But there are moments in gospel that compare to Dylan plugging in and going electric. The incorporation of soul or funk...would generate these intense debates about where gospel was going. I wanted to not just highlight those debates, but also those critical records that opened the debates up.”

During Harold’s Virginia book festival appearance, she will discuss music, history, and race with two other writers. With one of the other writers focused on southern hip-hop, Harold is excited to explore multiple Claudrena Harold musical genres.

“I imagine we will have an interesting conversation about the role of region shaping sound,” she says. “Some of the major sonic invasions and revolutions are from the South. Imagine hip-hop without the 757 and Pharrell and Missy Elliott.”

Um, no thank you.—Shea Gibbs

etween 1980 and 1994, Christian/gospel music sales grew from $190 million to $390 million.

And some folks in the business were uncomfortable with that success. Because gospel music is different.

“Were the contemporary gospel artists who experimented with the rhythms of funk, disco, and hip-hop more concerned with selling records than with saving souls?” wonders Claudrena Harold in the introduction to When Sunday Comes: Gospel Music in the Soul and Hip-Hop Eras.

“And if so, was gospel music on the same path of decline as its secular sibling R&B, which many music critics insisted had lost its soul?”

Harold, a University of Virginia history professor whose academic expertise focuses on African American and U.S. labor history, the civil rights movement, and the Jim Crow South, has made something of a departure to pen her latest book, which chronicles gospel over the last three decades of the 20th century.

“Music has always been a passion...but it’s been more of a side gig,” Harold says. “Music is sort of my sanctuary, and I think when you write about something you love and it is a place of refuge, you’re not sure you want to open that space to others.”

But open that space, she has. In When Sunday Comes, Harold filters her brief history of gospel through her

own experiences. The daughter of music lovers and the niece of an Atlantic Records songwriter, she obsessed over gospel while growing up. Other genres like the blues, R&B, and hip-hop also found their place, and it is at their intersection that Harold has situated When Sunday Comes.

Harold’s book focuses on the years between 1968, when founded the Gospel Music Workshop of America, and 1994, when Kirk Franklin cemented his status as a crossover superstar. She explores gospel’s triumphs and ten-

Escape town this spring in a rental cabin

By Erika Howsare living@gmail.com

M

ost of us have experienced some degree of cabin fever during the past year. As we near the anniversary of the dramatic upheaval brought on by the pandemic, we look back on a full 12 months lived much closer to home than many folks are used to. At the same time, spring is coming. How can we safely stretch our wings?

Hopping a plane to the usual springbreak destinations is not the smartest idea right now. Neither is road-tripping, unless you have an RV or another way to avoid public restrooms and hotel stays. For the COVID-cautious traveler, renting a standalone cabin or cottage might be your best bet. The only caveat is, as with RVs and campgrounds themselves, demand for such rentals is high. Be prepared to plan ahead.

We’re lucky to have an excellent state park system in Virginia, and many of our parks offer lodgings. Some of these are as comfortable as your average suburban home. James River State Park, for example, has 16 modern cabins (from $129) with board-and-batten siding, fireplaces, big porches and decks, and conveniences from microwaves to air conditioning.

At Belle Isle State Park, the Bel Air “mansion” (a slight exaggeration, though the

1942 Colonial-style home is certainly lovely) and a smaller guesthouse offer refined stays near the Rappahannock River. And Hungry Mother State Park in Marion offers 20 cabins starting at $84, some of which were log-built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.

Though these retain their rustic character, they don’t ask you to give up any of the conveniences of home (except TV—but hey, isn’t this supposed to be a getaway?).

A total of 25 state parks contain cabins, and some provide more unusual lodgings.

Check out the yurts at places like Lake Anna State Park and First Landing State Park (from $75). Think of the yurt as a big, sturdy tent—it offers no electricity or running water, nor cooking facilities, so plan on

While some do have modern amenities, most are free of electricity, heated by wood stoves, and—in some cases— reachable only on foot, with your gear on your back.

The Father looks brilliantly inside a decaying mind

Award nominations are piling up for Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of a man of living with dementia in The Father.

The Father PG-13, 97 minutes Streaming begins March 26 (Amazon Prime) feet to hide his confusion, and he sways from charming to hysterical without losing our empathy. His affection and stubbornness are endearing and concerning. Coleman is one of the best actresses working today, and pairing her with Hopkins is one of the best things about the movie.

Not many films rise to the task of telling such a difficult tale with as much poise as The Father. It is not easy to watch, though.

It is emotionally draining, and its trajectory is tragically unavoidable, but it deserves our attention and admiration.

facebook.com/cville.weekly

Though Anne is the first character on screen, and we see her do her best to stay strong during heartbreaking moments, the film’s genius comes from how the audience connects with Hopkins’ character.

Early in The Father, we notice that Anthony is not well. Beyond the argument over the missing watch and the mistreatment of his aide, he and Anne discuss plans for the future, and his struggle with memory loss is evident.

He appears cogent and can remember his daughters, but details and placing them in either the present or the past is a challenge for him. He wavers between frail, friendly, and furious as he processes the near-constant barrage of contradictory information and mixed signals from his loved ones.

Brilliant editing and compassionate writing allow us to follow Anthony’s timeline: One moment he is making a cup of tea and

then suddenly Anne returns to his flat with the groceries he has already put away. His son-in-law Paul (Rufus Sewell) is sitting in his living room, and the next thing Anthony knows, Anne is telling her dad she met someone and is moving away. It makes him question the solidity of his mind, but he continues to go with the flow. Tinkering with timelines, spatial awareness, and relationships puts us in Anthony’s shoes and gives us a glimpse into what it might feel like to begin to lose our grasp on reality.

Hopkins handles the role of the father with agonizing accuracy. He thinks on his

@cville_culture

apturing mental degeneration on screen is no easy task. Last year’s Relic did an excellent job of depicting the crushing effects of dementia on a family but, like so many films, it shied away from the interior life of the person suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The Father takes a much closer look at both the patient and his family, and the result is a poignant, gut-punching film.

Rehashing the plot points of The Father would not only be a confusing and futile exercise, but it would do a disservice to the process of watching the film. Nothing in the movie is certain, even when naming which actor plays which character and where the film takes place. Everything should be viewed with a simmering layer of skepticism and distrust. Everything, that is, except the father himself, Anthony (Anthony Hopkins).

The Father, however, is not merely about a solitary man. His daughter, Anne (Olivia Colman), is Anthony’s primary caretaker— and she’s at her wits’ end. Her dad is still charming and can keep himself busy, but he also manages to scare away his nurse when he accuses her of stealing his watch.

The watch was easily recovered, but it’s not the first time Anthony has harassed a caregiver to the point of resignation.

cooking or grilling outdoors. In the warm months, other parks, like Westmoreland State Park near the mouth of the Potomac, rent “camping cabins” starting at $47—electrified but not heated or cooled, and lacking kitchens and bathrooms.

A somewhat clunky reservation system at virginiastateparks.reserveamerica.com is the way to secure your state park cabin—and you’ll have to work around some COVID restrictions, like 24-hour rest periods between visitors. During the pandemic, the parks aren’t providing linens as they usually do. Go anyway; it’s worth it.

Our backyard national park, Shenandoah, is another great option, with two rather different sets of cabins starting at $135. Lewis Mountain cabins are off Skyline Drive in the upper elevations of the park. They offer comfy bedrooms and bathrooms, outdoor cooking areas, heat and electricity. Shenandoah River cabins are down in the valley, right on the waterfront, and more luxurious—each one has a hot tub, even the Vintage River Cabin that dates back to the 1700s. Jockey for reservations at nationalparkreservations.com.

There’s another way to experience cabin life in Shenandoah and other areas, if you’re not afraid to go primitive. The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club maintains 42 cabins, in an area stretching from the southern end of Shenandoah up into Pennsylvania. While some do have modern amenities, most are free of electricity, heated by wood stoves, and—in some cases—reachable only on foot, with your gear on your back.

The closest of these to Charlottesville (besides one called Dunlodge that’s actually located right here in town) is called Doyles River ($45), and it’s less than half a mile off the Appalachian Trail. It’s primitive and, like some of the state park cabins, was built by the CCC. There are other PATC cabins in and around Shenandoah—like the Argow Cabin ($55), boasting big mountain views— and the Vining Cabin ($100), with electricity inside and solar panels on the roof. But Doyles River is one of the select PATC cabins that doesn’t require you to buy a $40 annual membership.

Read more, and link to the reservation system, at patc.net. But note: The pandemic has restricted PATC cabin rentals to weekends, and all stays have a two-night minimum.

Of course, in the age of Airbnb, we’d be remiss not to point out that there are scores of privately owned rentals scattered throughout the land, representing all manner of styles, price ranges, and quirky amenities. A few that invite a second look: an $84-a-night treehouse in Sandston, just east of Richmond, which has a hot tub, a fire pit, and a cute loft-type bed reached by a ladder. Or a sleek, modern shipping-container house in Forest, near Lynchburg, can be yours for $145 per night.

Down in Farmville, a cottage on a goat farm goes for $114 a night. (Baby goats just born on February 8, says the listing!)

You may not need to stray very far at all to find an escape. Six miles from downtown Charlottesville is a $125-a-night “Tiny Tree Cottage,” essentially a tiny house with rustic detailing and a roof deck featuring hammock swings. For almost anyone, that sounds like a real change of pace.

KESWICK VINEYARDS 2019 Cabernet Franc Reserve Beautifully dark and inky in color with a wonderfully aromatic nose showcasing primary tones of white pepper, Provencal herbs and violets. With additional time in the glass, aromas of cherry, spices, graphite, black tea and smoke start coming out. This wine is aromatically complex and intricate. The palate is full bodied with initially lots of oak derived flavors of charred wood, clove, spice and mocha. With additional oxygenation, you get the beautiful spicy and pepper flavors associated with this varietal with secondary flavors of dark berries and chocolate. Grippy tannins are present but there is little astringency and bitterness.

As big as this wine, there is a vibrancy and brightness due to good acidity levels.

This is beautifully balanced and poised although a bit linear at the moment, requiring some time to fully reach its potential. Our Cabernet Franc Reserve was just awarded a gold medal at this year’s Governor’s Cup competition!

WHAT’S DELISH AT LOCAL WINERIES?

EASTWOOD FARM AND WINERY

53RD WINERY AND VINEYARD

Tall Tails Meritage Reserve Comprising Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, this traditional Bordeaux-style blend received a Bronze medal at this year’s Governor’s Cup. Notes of violets, black cherries and warm spices make up the bouquet of this particular blend. Meanwhile the palate shows off flavors of black cherry, black peppercorn, dried tobacco leaf, and dusty rose petals.

Enjoy this medium-full bodied wine with your Sunday roasts, grilled portobello mushrooms, or outdoors next to a bonfire!

DUCARD VINEYARDS 2017 Triskele Our Triskele is a Bordeaux-style blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot and was just awarded a gold medal at this year’s Governor’s Cup competition!

Warm aromas of cherry, liquorice, and sweet spices give this wine a cozy bouquet. Rounded and supple on the palate, there is some balanced acidity with flavors of blackberry, peppercorns, and casis. A tannic and strong wine, we recommend decanting Triskele for 30-60 minutes before enjoying. Pair with beef wellington, roasted duck, or a mediumbodied cigar and a beautiful sunset!

By Rob Brezsny

Aries (March 21-April 19): Artist Richard Kehl tells this traditional Jewish story: God said to Abraham, “But for me, you would not be here.”

Abraham answered, “I know that Lord, but were I not here there would be no one to think about you.” I’m bringing this tale to your attention, dear Aries, because I think the coming weeks will be a favorable time to summon a comparable cheekiness with authorities, including even the Divine Wow herself. So I invite you to consider the possibility of being sassy, saucy, and bold. Risk being an articulate maverick with a point of view that the honchos and experts should entertain.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Spiritual author Ernest Holmes wrote, “True imagination is not fanciful daydreaming, it is fire from heaven.”

Unfortunately, many people do indeed regard imagination as mostly just a source of fanciful daydreaming. And it is also true that when our imaginations are lazy and out of control, when they conjure delusional fears and worries, they can be debilitating. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to harness the highest powers of your imagination—to channel the fire from heaven—as you visualize all the wonderful and interesting things you want to do with your life in the next nine months.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): “I’m always waiting for a door to open in a wall without doors,” wrote Gemini author Fernando Pessoa. Huh? Pessoa was consistently eccentric in his many writings, and I find this particular statement especially odd. I’m going to alter it so it makes more sense and fits your current needs. Here’s your motto for the coming weeks: “I’m always ready to figure out how to make a new door in a wall without doors, and call on all necessary help to make it.”

Cancer

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The bad news is that the narrow buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea is laced with landmines. Anyone who walks there is at risk for getting blown up.

The good news is that because people avoid the place, it has become an unprecedented nature preserve—a wildlife refuge where endangered species like the red-crowned crane and Korean fox can thrive. In the coming weeks and months, I’d love to see you engage in a comparable project, Pisces: finding a benevolent use for a previously taboo or wasted part of your life. tourist industry. More so before the pandemic, but even now, outsiders have come to paraglide, hunt for bears, and marvel at the scenery. In this horoscope, I am making an outlandish metaphorical comparison of you to the Kamchatka Peninsula. Like that land, people sometimes find it a challenge to reach you. And yet when they do, you can be quite welcoming. Is this a problem? Maybe, maybe not. What do you think? Now is a good time to re-evaluate.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Biting midges, also known as no-see-ums, are blood-sucking flies that spread various diseases. Yuck, right? Wouldn’t the world be a better place if we used science to kill off all biting midges everywhere? Well, there would be a disappointing trade-off if we did. The creepy bugs are the primary pollinators for several crops grown in the topics, including cacao. So if we got rid of the no-see-ums, there’d probably be no more chocolate. I’m guessing that you may be dealing with a comparable dilemma, Leo: an influence that has both a downside and an upside.

The central question is: Can you be all you want to be without it in your life? Or not?

Now is a good time to ponder the best way to shape your future relationship.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to my analysis of your imminent astrological potentials, you already are or will soon be floating and whirling and churning along on an ocean of emotion. In other words, you will be experiencing more feelings and stronger feelings than you have in quite some time. This doesn’t have to be a problem as long as you do the following: 1. Be proud and appreciative about being able to feel so much. 2. Since only a small percentage of your feelings need

to be translated into practical actions, don’t take them too seriously. 3. Enjoy the ride!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22): Poet Wendell Berry says “it’s the immemorial feelings” he likes best: “hunger and thirst and their satisfaction; work-weariness and earned rest; the falling again from loneliness to love.” Notice that he doesn’t merely love the gratification that comes from quenching his hunger and thirst.

The hunger and thirst are themselves essential components of his joy. Work-weariness and loneliness are not simply inconvenient discomforts that he’d rather live without.

He celebrates them, as well. I think his way of thinking is especially worthy of your imitation in the next three weeks.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Famous and influential science fiction novelist Philip K. Dick relied on amphetamines to fuel his first 43 novels.

Beginning with A Scanner Darkly, his 44th, he did without his favorite drug. It wasn’t his best book, but it was far from his worst. It sold well and was made into a movie featuring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., and two other celebrity actors. Inspired by Dick’s success without relying on his dependency— and in accordance with current astrological omens—I’m inviting you to try doing without one of your addictions or compulsions or obsessions as you work on your labor of love.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ninety percent of all apples in the world are descended from a forest of apple trees in southeast Kazakhstan. Most of us have tasted just a few types of apples, but there’s a much wider assortment of flavors in that natural wonderland. You know how wine is described as having taste notes and aromas?

The apple flavor of Kazakhstan’s apples may

be tinged with hints of roses, strawberries, anise, pineapples, coconuts, lemon peels, pears, potatoes, or popcorn. Can you imagine traveling to that forest and exploring a far more complex and nuanced relationship with a commonplace food? During the coming weeks, I invite you to experiment with arousing metaphorically similar experiences. In what old familiar persons, places, or things could you find a surprising wealth of previously unexplored depth and variety?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Andrew Tilin testified that he sometimes had the feeling that his life was in pieces—but then realized that most of the pieces were good and interesting.

So his sense of being a mess of unassembled puzzle parts gave way to a deeper contentment—an understanding that the jumble was just fine the way it was. I recommend you cultivate and enjoy an experience like that in the coming weeks, Capricorn.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Indian poet Meena Alexander was bon under the sign of Aquarius. She became famous after she moved to the United States at age 29, but was raised in India and the Sudan. In her poem “Where Do You Come From?” she wrote, “Mama beat me when I was a child for stealing honey from a honey pot.” I’m sorry to hear she was treated so badly for enjoying herself. She wasn’t committing a crime—the honey belonged to her family, and her family had plenty of money to buy more honey. This vignette is my way of advising you, in accordance with astrological omens, to carry out your personal version of stealing the honey from the honey pot, dear Aquarius. Take what’s rightfully yours.

(June 21-July 22): You can’t drive to the Kamchatka Peninsula. It’s a 104,000-squaremile area with a sub-Arctic climate in the far east of Russia. No roads connect it to the rest of the world. Its major city, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, is surrounded by volcanoes. If you want to travel there, you must arrive by plane or ship. And yet Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky has long had a thriving

With the passage of the Virginia Clean Economy Act in 2020, many new opportunities will soon be available to Virginia residents, especially around community solar. At the same time, technological advances with batteries and electric vehicles are creating a set of more complex solutions for Virginians who want to have more control over their utility bills and mitigate climate change.

“I’m excited to have Katie join LEAP at this pivotal time in the expansion of solar as a practical, beneficial source of renewable energy for Virginians,” states Chris Meyer, Executive Director of LEAP. “Katie’s experience in the Virginia renewable energy sector and nonprofit management expertise make her the perfect fit for scaling our Solarize program,” added Meyer.

Since 2014, Solarize has helped initiate the installation of more than 4 megawatts of solar capacity valued at more than $12 million. Looking forward, LEAP will be continuing its annual Solarize campaigns in Northern Virginia and the Piedmont/ Central Virginia regions.

The Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Charlottesville, VA. As a trusted nonprofit, LEAP delivers direct education and services for improved energy performance that address climate change; create cost savings for families and businesses; healthier, safer, and more durable buildings; and local jobs and economic growth.

Clutter: An Untidy History

FEATURE

Bibliophiles know the frustration of searching for a favorite volume amid stacks, stacks and more stacks. Back in January, former Washington Post columnist and contributing editor Jennifer Howard spoke with historian Meredith Hindley about her new book, Clutter: An Untidy History, an expansive look at our relationships to all our stuff. Howard sets her personal struggles with her own clutter against a meticulously researched history of how the developed world came to drown in material goods.

“I hope this book will help people appreciate that the struggle with stuff is a collective problem as much as an individual one,” she says. “It’s worth thinking about where our things come from—and where they will go when we’re done with them.”

og on, Zoom in, drop out, and pick up a good book, as Timothy Leary might have said.

When COVID turns life gray with gloom, the printed page in the hands of Jacqueline Woodson or John Grisham turns it positively psychedelic. So feed your head.

Spend three hours in World War II Paris. Peruse an untidy history of clutter that might help you with your own, or a love song to NBA great Julius Erving that’s part meditation on familial love and the Middle Passage.

Expand your knowledge of spring bird migrations, and your expertise—surely you have some—in authentic Indonesian cookery.

However you like it, make it happen.

Assume (or approximate) the Lotus position or settle into a chaise lounge with a strong cup of tea. And from the

posture of your choice, prepare for the 27th Virginia Festival of the Book, March 13 through 26—archived, livestreamed, or Zoomed but as invigorating as ever.

Festival programs are free and open to all.

Digital Museum of Broken Relationships with Leslie Jamison and Friends While the Festival won’t begin until the middle of the month, already its website features 15 free-to-stream talks and discussions. The brilliant novelist

and essayist Leslie Jamison, called “a master of blending memoir, criticism and journalism,” teaches non-fiction in the Columbia University MFA program.

She sat down last November to discuss an essay in Make it Scream, Make it Burn, her latest book. Inspired by a visit to the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia, “Museum of Broken Hearts” explores loss and renewal, and how broken loves live inside of us through the objects we live with and the memories we carry.

Jamison spoke with the museum’s cofounder, Olinka Vištica, along with a few fellow writers, who each shared stories they contributed to Jamison’s essay.

“Every object,” Jamison writes, “insists that something was, rather than trying to make it disappear.” The conversation was moderated by Allison Wright, Executive Editor of VQR, which ran the original essay in Spring of 2018.

Spring Migrations Author and “extreme birder” Kenn Kaufman has observed bird migrations on all seven continents and edited and coauthored seven titles in the Kaufman Field Guide series. His memoir, Kingbird Highway, was designated a “Classic” by the National Outdoor Book Awards.

Late last month Kaufman talked about his newest book, A Season on the Wind: Inside the World of Spring Migration, with Pete Myers who earned a PhD from U.C. Berkeley for studies of the migratory ecology and behavior of sandpipers, work that took him from Arctic Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. He has served as senior vice president for science at the National Audubon Society, and is co-founder of the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network, which coordinates conservation plans at over 100 sites in the western hemisphere.

Be Holding—A Meditation “…Erving simply decided in the air to knock on other doors by soaring more —have you ever decided anything in the air?—” Strength, grace, and split-second decision-making are all it took. Has anyone ever made a shot as beautiful as Dr. J’s gravity-defying behind-the-board reverse layup in the 1980 NBA Finals? Indiana University poet Ross Gay’s new booklength work, Be Holding: A Poem, meditates on pick-up basketball, the Middle

Passage, photography and surveillance, music, familial love, and Erving’s legendary Baseline Move. Ross will discuss the poem, and who knows what else, with the Iranian-born poet Kaveh Akbar on March 20 at 2:00 p.m.

Dark Times & Mercy: John Grisham and Ian Rankin in Conversation

Nighttime falls on a drag car racetrack in Virginia, a Native American reservation in North Dakota, a little patch of rural Nebraska, and the mood is uneasy . . . who says “noir” only denotes desperate deeds in a dark narrow alley, or in the eerie glow of a skyscraper? Not S.A.

In Waste: One Woman’s Fight Against America’s Dirty Secret, Catherine Coleman Flowers—the MacArthur grant–winning “Erin Brockovich of Sewage”—chronicles the environmental justice movement in rural America. In The Poisoned City: Flint’s Water and the American Urban Tragedy, Anna Clark covers the tragic story of how lead was allowed to poison the water in Flint, Michigan.

And in Mill Town, Kerri Arsenault reflects on her rural hometown of Mexico, Maine, where the town’s chief employer, a paper mill, gave economic security to three generations of her family, but also wreaked havoc with their health and their environment.

Arsenault, Clark, and Flowers will speak on environmental injustices like these, and the systemic racism and class privilege that keep them from being taken seriously, on March 20 at 7:00 p.m.

Mike Nichols: A Life Mike Nichols was a showbiz renaissance man and a complicated character.

The Virginia Film Festival (VAFF) will partner with the Festival of the Book for the next installment of its popular Beyond the Screen: A Virtual Conversation Series on Tuesday, March 23 at 4:00 p.m.

This live-streamed conversation with New York Magazine writer and columnist Mark Harris will focus on his biography of film and theater director, producer, actor, and comedian Mike Nichols, entitled Mike Nichols: A Life. It will be moderated by filmmaker and VAFF Associate Programmer Joe Fab. Nichols began his career as an edgy improv comedian with Elaine May before becoming one of America’s leading film and stage directors. His credits include iconic films like The Graduate, for which he won an Academy Award, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Catch-22, Silkwood, The Birdcage, and Charlie Wilson’s War.

An Evening with Jacqueline Woodson Best-selling children’s author Jacqueline Woodson grew up telling stories, and writing them everywhere: sidewalks, walls, and even shoes. Woodson told

Instagram, TikTok, and apps the average grown-up has never heard of don’t fire every kid’s imagination. Some still dream with a book in their hands. Writer, illustrator, and filmmaker Vashti Harrison has authored a series of illustrated volumes for such old school and super cool primary and secondary school children. She will read from three of them, Little Dreamers, Little Leaders, and Little Legends, and talk about becoming an author-illustrator, on March 23 at noon.

Students are invited to submit questions ahead of time.

Girls in the World Hercule Poirot was a clever little man, but it was Agatha Christie who created him. Middlegrade novelists Elizabeth Bunce (How to Get Away with Myrtle), Hena Khan (Amina’s Song), and Angie Smibert (The Truce) know all about girls finding their voices and using their wits to solve mysteries, overcome challenges, and bring people together. They’ll see what else they can figure out in conversation together on March 21 at 2:00 p.m.

Scottish crime writer Ian Rankin’s bestselling novels have garnered him an OBE (Order of the British Empire), along with awards in Germany, France, Denmark, and the United States. Sometime Charlottesville resident John Grisham has written thirty-five novels for adults, six for children, one work of nonfiction, and a collection of stories. He’s also a longtime member of the Board of Directors for the Innocence Project, which works to exonerate the innocent through DNA testing, and reform the criminal justice system.

Grisham has given frequent readings at New Dominion Bookshop on the Downtown Mall, which is sponsoring a conversation, likely to be wide-ranging, between Grisham and Rankin on March 26 at 7:00 p.m.

New Dominion Bookshop owner Carol Troxell kept the oldest independent bookstore in the Commonwealth alive on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall despite competition from big box retailers and online behemoths. Following her death in 2017, the shop and the Festival established the Carol Troxell Reader in grateful memory of Carol and her invaluable contribution to local literary life.

In the third annual Carol Troxell Reader, March 26 at noon, acclaimed mystery writer Cara Black will read and discuss her newest book, Three Hours in Paris, a thriller set in occupied Paris. Virginia author Ellen Crosby, who’s latest, The French Paradox, is the 11th in her Virginia wine country series, will moderate.

What price do both blue- and whitecollar workers pay for providing the speed and convenience we’ve come to rely on from online shopping? Award-winning journalists Alec MacGillis (Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America) and Amelia Pang (Made in China: A Prisoner, an SOS Letter, and the Hidden Cost of America’s Cheap Goods) discuss the hidden costs of our globalized, internet-driven consumer economy, including China’s forced labor camps, and Amazon’s unethical practices and frightening, quasigovernmental reach, on March 17 at 7:00 p.m.

In partnership with the JeffersonMadison Regional Library’s Same Page community-wide reading series on March 16 at 7:00 p.m., Woodson will discuss her work, including her novel Red at the Bone, her memoir-in-verse, Brown Girl Dreaming, and her newest book, a novel-in-verse, Before the Ever After.
